[Evergreen-web-team] 2012-08-30 EG Web Team meeting notes

[Steve Wills]

Thank you Alexey.

Since the meeting I think we decided to "stay in touch" but not schedule another conference call at this time? I also agreed to send out a cheerleading email toward the end of this week. Here it is.

I am pleased to announce that I have another public school system *almost* running on Evergreen but between my fulltime day job and the ILS migrations for that school system, I have not had a change to review the content issues for the new Drupal site. I also want to work on the map functionality but, again, have made no progress.

How is everyone else doing?
Steve Wills
